Snow Again!

Where's the Grass?
Wednesday was a monumental day. The bridge was delivered, and we can all now whistle "The Bridge Over River Weiss" every time we cross it. It will be difficult to get vehicles cross it until the wood chips arrive today, and David has volunteered to strategically position them so we can drive vehicles (tractor and plow) over the bridge. The snow isn't helping us get the field ready, but our mantra has been "incremental progress" and we know that eventually everything will just fall into place.

Mike was busy filling tray after tray with seeds for crops that need to be started early. Some of it will be harvested before the CSA starts in June and if the weather permits we hope to be selling before June at our roadside stand. Currently Mike's cunning plan for earlier revenue is to sell brassica, lettuce, and heirloom tomato starts here in Columbia City at a plant sale. We'll have to see how that shapes up. Our basement is filling with plants pretty quickly and the greenhouses still need to be erected. So much to do!
